Electrolube is Awarded Health & Safety Standard ISO 45001
September 12, 2019 | ElectrolubeEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Electrolube has been awarded the new global standard for Occupational Health and Safety, the ISO 45001. The company achieved the certificate on its first attempt, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace, as well as reducing occupational injuries and ill-health.
The highly anticipated new standard replaces the international former workplace health and safety standard, the OHSAS 18001, which officially ends in March 2021. Electrolube has successfully migrated from the former OHSAS 18001 well in advance of the standard’s expiration date, which illustrates the company’s driven ethos to achieve excellence across all levels of the organisation and its clear focus on continual improvement for site Health and Safety.
The new ISO 45001 accreditation joins Electrolube’s current ISO 9001 Quality Management and ISO 14001 Environmental Management credentials, enabling the company to offer three respected ISO standards to the broad range of manufacturing industries it serves. Achieving three ISO standards is an extraordinary achievement for a chemical manufacturing organisation and endorses Electrolube’s steadfast commitment to health and safety and reducing environmental impact.
Certain sectors are particularly strict in the selection of supply chain partners, who must demonstrate not just excellence in terms of product quality and performance, but also the quality of their staff, their manufacturing processes and manufacturing environment. Electrolube's products and manufacturing processes are compliant with a wide range of internationally recognised standards, including the International Automotive Task Force's new global quality management standard, IATF 16949, and the prEN 9100 internationally recognized Quality Management standard, specific to the aerospace, aviation and defense industries. The company also won the Queens’ Award for Enterprise 3 years ago and many of Electrolube’s products meet strict Underwriters Laboratory standards for flame retardancy as well as comply with many European and American military specifications.
Ron Jakeman, Managing Director of Electrolube comments, "We are delighted to be awarded the ISO 45001 standard, which acknowledges our commitment to achieving the highest standards in our health and safety practices across all of our international sites. Our compliance with the new global health and safety management standard is an important accomplishment for us as a specialist electro-chemicals manufacturer, and it joins an extensive host of standards that our products and services currently meet both at our UK headquarters and internationally.”

04/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007There was big news throughout the week on a global economic scale. Everything is moving so fast it’s hard to follow. I sat in on a webinar about the U.S. tariff changes announced on April 2, and even the policy wonks, whose life’s purpose is to be expert in these things, couldn’t keep up.

Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
